An electronic device needs to send a registration message through a communication radio frequency link for re-registration before the electronic device is disconnected from the IMS, so as to ensure that the electronic device can continuously use the IMS.

However, for electronic devices that share a communication radio frequency link, registration performed in the IMS in a process in which an application downloads data by using the communication radio frequency link is likely to affect the smooth running of the application.

1 FIG. is a flowchart of a first registration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The registration method is performed by an electronic device, and the electronic device may include: a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, or the like. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device includes a communication radio frequency link, and an application runnable and installed in the electronic device. The electronic device is connected to an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem, that is, the electronic device is connected to the IMS. The registration method may include following actions.

101 Action, obtain, in a process in which a preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link, a remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset application may be an application that needs to download data during running, or the like, and the preset application is not specifically limited. The preset application may be an application that has a higher requirement on the real-time performance, or the like. The quantity of preset applications is also not specifically limited.

After the electronic device has successfully registered in the IMS, an IMS server will assign an online duration to the electronic device. The electronic device is connected to the IMS before the online duration expires, and the electronic device will be disconnected from the IMS after the online duration expires. To avoid being disconnected from the IMS, the electronic device needs to re-register in the IMS server before the online duration expires. After the re-registration has succeeded, the IMS server will re-assign an online duration to the electronic device. This mode is repeated to ensure that the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS.

For example, after the electronic device has successfully registered in the IMS, the online duration assigned by the IMS server to the electronic device is 20 minutes, that is, the electronic device is connected to the IMS within 20 minutes. To avoid being disconnected from the IMS, the electronic device needs to re-register in the IMS server before the online duration 20 minutes expires.

Generally, after the online duration is obtained, the electronic device will assign a timer to continuously detect a remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS, and remind the electronic device to re-register before the online duration expires.

The remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is a remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS at the current moment. For example, for the above example, after the electronic device has successfully registered in the IMS at 10:00:00 on Jan. 29, 2020, an online duration assigned by the IMS server to the electronic device is 20 minutes. Therefore, at 10:04:00 on Jan. 29, 2020, a remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is 16 minutes.

In a process in which the preset application of the electronic device downloads data through the communication radio frequency link by using a mobile network, the electronic device may obtain the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS by using the above timer. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

Optionally, during the online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS, the quality of making calls is generally good, and the speed of sending text messages and multimedia messages is generally fast. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

102 Action, obtain a data demand of the preset application in a case that the remaining online duration is greater than a first preset duration and less than a second preset duration, where the first preset duration is greater than or equal to a duration required for the electronic device to re-register in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first preset duration needs to be greater than or equal to the duration required for the electronic device to re-register in the IMS, to ensure that the electronic device is still not disconnected from the IMS when starting re-registration in a case that the remaining online duration is the above first preset duration.

For example, if the duration required for the electronic device to re-register in the IMS is 30 seconds, the first preset duration needs to be greater than or equal to 30 seconds. It should be noted that, to fully ensure that the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS, the first preset duration may be generally much greater than the duration required for the electronic device to re-register in the IMS. For example, for the above example, the above first preset duration may be 3 minutes, and the first preset duration 3 minutes is six times of the duration 30 seconds required for the electronic device to re-register in the IMS.

The above second preset duration may be set according to a total online duration assigned by the IMS server to the electronic device, and the second preset duration may be less than or equal to the total online duration assigned by the IMS server to the electronic device. It should be noted that, the above second preset duration may be generally much less than the total online duration assigned by the IMS server to the electronic device, and the effect thereof lies in that: if re-registration is performed in a case that the remaining online duration is relatively long, an unexpired online duration will be wasted, resulting in resource waste. However, the second preset duration is reasonably set in this application, so that the resource waste can be avoided.

For example, for the above example, after the electronic device has successfully registered in the IMS, the online duration assigned by the IMS server to the electronic device is 20 minutes, and the second preset duration may be 15 minutes.

In a case that the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is greater than the above first preset duration and less than the above second preset duration, the data demand of the preset application is obtained. The data demand of the preset application may be obtained through a modem module of the electronic device. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

103 Action, perform, in a case that the data demand is less than a preset data demand, re-registration in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem through the communication radio frequency link.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset data demand may be set according to actual requirements, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

In a case that the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is greater than the above first preset duration and less than the above second preset duration and the data demand of the preset application is less than the preset data demand, it indicates that the electronic device can re-register in time, and even if the communication radio frequency link is occupied by re-registration, the preset application can also run relative smoothly, and does not get stuck or affect the usage experience of the user on the preset application. Therefore, re-registration may be performed in the IMS through the above communication radio frequency link, to maintain that the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, in the process in which the preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link, in a case that the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is still relatively long, the electronic device does not directly re-register in the IMS through the communication radio frequency link, but re-registers in the IMS when the preset application has a smaller data demand on a premise of ensuring that the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS, which ensures that the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS, and the preset application can run smoothly during re-registration.

2 FIG. is a flowchart of a second registration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The registration method is similarly performed by an electronic device, the electronic device includes a communication radio frequency link, and the electronic device is connected to an IMS. For the electronic device, reference may be made to the above description. To avoid repetition, details are not described herein again. It should be noted that, a first subscriber identification module (SIM) and a second subscriber identification module are installed in the electronic device, that is, the electronic device may be an electronic device with a dual-card and dual-standby, or an electronic device with a multi-card and multi-standby. The electronic device is connected to the IMS through the second SIM. The registration method may include following actions.

201 Action, obtain, in a process in which a preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link based on the first subscriber identification module, a remaining online duration of the second subscriber identification module registered in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem.

Optionally, in the electronic device, the first SIM may perform data exchange with a base station. For example, the first SIM is a main card performing data exchange with the base station, and the second SIM is a secondary card.

201 101 For the above action, reference may be made to the above action. It should be noted that, in a process in which the preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link based on a mobile network of the first SIM, the remaining online duration of the second SIM registered in the IMS is obtained.

202 Action, obtain a data demand of the preset application in a case that the remaining online duration is greater than a first preset duration and less than a second preset duration, where the first preset duration is greater than or equal to a duration required for the second subscriber identification module to re-register in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem.

202 102 For the above action, reference may be made to the above action. It should be noted that, because the electronic device is connected to the IMS through the second SIM, the first preset duration herein is greater than or equal to the duration required for the second SIM to re-register in the IMS. Optionally, the second preset duration herein may alternatively be set based on an online duration assigned by the IMS server to the second SIM. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

In a case that the remaining online duration of the second SIM registered in the IMS is greater than the above first preset duration and less than the above second preset duration, the data demand of the preset application through the communication radio frequency link based on the first SIM is obtained.

203 Action, set, in a case that the data demand is less than the preset data demand, that the second subscriber identification module performs re-registration in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem through the communication radio frequency link.

103 For the action, reference may be similarly made to relevant description in the above action. It should be noted that, in a case that the data demand of the preset application through the communication radio frequency link based on the first SIM is less than the above preset data demand, it indicates that even if the communication radio frequency link is occupied by re-registration in this case, the preset application can also run relative smoothly, and does not get stuck or affect the usage experience of the user on the preset application. Therefore, the second SIM may perform re-registration in the IMS through the above communication radio frequency link, to maintain that the second SIM is not disconnected from the IMS, and the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS.

203 203 Optionally, before the above action, the method may further include following actions: obtaining signal data corresponding to the second subscriber identification module, where the signal data includes: at least one of a signal-to-noise ratio or a signal strength. The above actionmay include: setting, in a case that the data demand is less than the preset data demand and the signal data is greater than preset signal data, that the second subscriber identification module performs re-registration in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem through the communication radio frequency link.

203 Optionally, before the above action, the signal data corresponding to the second SIM may be obtained, where the signal data is used for representing signal quality of the second SIM. The signal data may include: at least one of the signal-to-noise ratio or the signal strength. The preset signal data may be set according to actual requirements, which is not specifically limited. In a case that the data demand of the preset application through the communication radio frequency link based on the first SIM is less than the above preset data demand and the signal data of the second SIM is greater than the preset signal data, it indicates that even if the communication radio frequency link is occupied by re-registration in this case, the preset application can also run relative smoothly, and does not get stuck or affect the usage experience of the user on the preset application, and the signal quality of the second SIM is better at the same time. In a case that the signal quality of the second SIM is better, the speed at which the second SIM re-registers in the IMS through the above communication radio frequency link is faster, and an occupation time on the communication radio frequency link is shorter. Therefore, the second SIM may re-register in the IMS through the above communication radio frequency link, to maintain that the second SIM is not disconnected from the IMS, the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS, and a time for the second SIM to occupy the communication radio frequency link during re-registration can be shorter, thereby reducing the influence on the smooth running of the preset application.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, in a process in which the electronic device is connected to the IMS though the second SIM and the preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link based on the first SIM, in a case that the remaining online duration of the second SIM registered in the IMS is still relatively long, the second SIM does not directly re-register in the IMS through the communication radio frequency link, but the second SIM re-registers in the IMS when the preset application has a smaller data demand on a premise of ensuring that the second SIM is not disconnected from the IMS, which ensures that the second SIM is not disconnected from the IMS, the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS, and the preset application can run smoothly through a mobile network provided by the first SIM during re-registration.

3 FIG. is a flowchart of a third registration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The registration method is similarly performed by an electronic device, the electronic device includes a communication radio frequency link, and the electronic device is connected to an IMS. For the electronic device, reference may be made to the above description. To avoid repetition, details are not described herein again. It should be noted that, a first SIM is installed in the electronic device, that is, the electronic device may be an electronic device with a single-card and single-standby, or an electronic device with a multi-card and multi-standby. The electronic device is connected to the IMS through the first SIM. The registration method may include following actions.

301 Action, obtain, in a process in which a preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link based on the first subscriber identification module, a remaining online duration of the first subscriber identification module registered in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem.

301 101 Optionally, in the electronic device, the first SIM may perform data exchange with a base station, and is also connected to the IMS. For the above action, reference may be made to the above action. It should be noted that, in a process in which the preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link based on a mobile network of the first SIM, the remaining online duration of the first SIM registered in the IMS is obtained.

302 Action, obtain a data demand of the preset application in a case that the remaining online duration is greater than a first preset duration and less than a second preset duration, where the first preset duration is greater than or equal to a duration required for the first subscriber identification module to re-register in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem.

302 102 For the above action, reference may be made to the above action. It should be noted that, because the electronic device is connected to the IMS through the first SIM, the first preset duration herein is greater than or equal to the duration required for the first SIM to re-register in the IMS. Optionally, the second preset duration herein may alternatively be set based on an online duration assigned by the IMS server to the first SIM. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

In a case that the remaining online duration of the first SIM registered in the IMS is greater than the above first preset duration and less than the above second preset duration, the data demand of the preset application through the communication radio frequency link based on the first SIM is obtained.

303 Action, set, in a case that the data demand is less than the preset data demand, that the first subscriber identification module performs re-registration in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem through the communication radio frequency link.

103 For the action, reference may be similarly made to relevant description in the above action. It should be noted that, in a case that the data demand of the preset application through the communication radio frequency link based on the first SIM is less than the above preset data demand, it indicates that even if the communication radio frequency link is occupied by re-registration in this case, the preset application can also run relative smoothly, and does not get stuck or affect the usage experience of the user on the preset application. Therefore, the first SIM may perform re-registration in the IMS through the above communication radio frequency link, to maintain that the first SIM is not disconnected from the IMS, and the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS.

303 303 Optionally, before the above action, the method may further include following actions: obtaining signal data corresponding to the first subscriber identification module, where the signal data includes: at least one of a signal-to-noise ratio or a signal strength. The above actionmay include: setting, in a case that the data demand is less than the preset data demand and the signal data is greater than preset signal data, that the first subscriber identification module performs re-registration in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem through the communication radio frequency link.

303 Optionally, before the above action, the signal data corresponding to the first SIM may be obtained, where the signal data is used for representing signal quality of the first SIM. The signal data may include: at least one of the signal-to-noise ratio or the signal strength. The preset signal data may be set according to actual requirements, which is not specifically limited. In a case that the data demand of the preset application through the communication radio frequency link based on the first SIM is less than the above preset data demand and the signal data of the first SIM is greater than the preset signal data, it indicates that even if the communication radio frequency link is occupied by re-registration in this case, the preset application can also run relative smoothly, and does not get stuck or affect the usage experience of the user on the preset application, and the signal quality of the first SIM is better at the same time. In a case that the signal quality of the first SIM is better, the speed at which the second SIM re-registers in the IMS through the above communication radio frequency link is faster, and an occupation time on the communication radio frequency link is shorter. Therefore, the first SIM may re-register in the IMS through the above communication radio frequency link, to maintain that the first SIM is not disconnected from the IMS, the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS, and a time for the first SIM to occupy the communication radio frequency link during re-registration can be shorter, thereby reducing the influence on the smooth running of the preset application.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, in a process in which the electronic device is connected to the IMS though the first SIM and the preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link based on the first SIM, in a case that the remaining online duration of the first SIM registered in the IMS is still relatively long, the first SIM does not directly re-register in the IMS through the communication radio frequency link, but the first SIM re-registers in the IMS when the preset application has a smaller data demand on a premise of ensuring that the first SIM is not disconnected from the IMS, which ensures that the first SIM is not disconnected from the IMS, the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS, and the preset application can run smoothly through a mobile network provided by the first SIM during re-registration.

4 FIG. is a flowchart of a fourth registration method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The registration method is similarly performed by an electronic device, the electronic device includes a communication radio frequency link, and the electronic device is connected to an IMS. For the electronic device, reference may be made to the above description. To avoid repetition, details are not described herein again. The registration method may include following actions.

401 Action, obtain, in a process in which a preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link, a remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem.

401 101 For action, reference may be made to relevant description of the above action. It should be noted that, the preset application may optionally include: at least one of a game application or a video application. Both the game application and the video application have higher requirements on a network. For example, in a case that the game application runs unsmoothly, a game character corresponding to a user may lose a game. For example, in a case that the video application runs unsmoothly, stuck playback may be caused, so that the viewing experience of a user is affected.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, if the above preset application is the game application and that the game application downloads data through a communication link generally means that a user downloads data through the communication link to play the game application, the process in which the above preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link may be a process in which the user downloads data through the communication link to play the game application. If the above preset application is the video application and that the video application downloads data through a communication link generally means that a user downloads data through the communication link to view a video in the video application, the process in which the above preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link may be a process in which the user downloads data through the communication link to view a video in the video application.

402 Action, re-obtain, in a process in which the preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link in a case that the remaining online duration is greater than the second preset duration, the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem.

Optionally, the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is greater than the above second preset duration, which indicates that the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is still very long. In the process in which the preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link, the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS may be re-obtained.

403 Action, obtain the data demand of the preset application in a case that the remaining online duration re-obtained is greater than the first preset duration and less than the second preset duration.

Optionally, the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is greater than the above second preset duration, which indicates that the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is still very long. In a case that the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is still very long, the data demand of the preset application is not obtained in time, so that re-registration is not performed, but the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is re-obtained in the process in which the preset application downloads data through the above communication radio frequency link, and the data demand of the preset application is re-obtained in a case that the remaining online duration re-obtained is greater than the above first preset duration and less than the above second preset duration. The achieved effect lies in that: in a case that the remaining online duration is still very long, re-registration is not performed, so that an unexpired online duration will not be wasted, thereby avoiding resource waste.

For example, for the above example, after the electronic device has successfully registered in the IMS, an online duration assigned by an IMS server to the electronic device is 20 minutes, the second preset duration may be 15 minutes, and the first preset duration may be 3 minutes. If an obtained remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is 18 minutes and is greater than the above second preset duration, that is, the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is still very long, the data demand of the preset application is not obtained in time, so that re-registration is not performed. If a remaining online duration re-obtained of the electronic device registered in the IMS is 14.9 minutes in a process in which the above preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link, the remaining online duration re-obtained 14.9 minutes is greater than the first preset duration 3 minutes and less than the second preset duration 15 minutes, so that the data demand of the preset application is obtained.

404 Action, perform, in a case that the data demand is less than a preset data demand, re-registration in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem through the communication radio frequency link.

404 103 For the above action, reference may be made to the above action, and the same beneficial effects can be achieved. To avoid repetition, details are not described herein again.

405 Action, perform, in a case that the remaining online duration is less than or equal to the first preset duration, re-registration in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem through the communication radio frequency link.

The remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is less than or equal to the above first preset duration, which indicates that the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is very short, and if re-registration is not performed in time, it may cause that the electronic device is disconnected from the IMS. Therefore, re-registration is directly performed in the IMS through the above communication radio frequency link, to maintain that the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS.

For example, for the above example, after the electronic device has successfully registered in the IMS, an online duration assigned by an IMS server to the electronic device is 20 minutes, the second preset duration may be 15 minutes, and the first preset duration may be 3 minutes. If an obtained remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is 3 minutes and is exactly equal to the above first preset duration, re-registration is directly performed in the IMS through the above communication radio frequency link.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, if the above preset application is the game application, in the process in which the user downloads data through a communication link to play the game application, in a case that the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is greater than the above first preset duration and less than the above second preset duration and the game application has a smaller data demand, re-registration is performed in the IMS through the above communication radio frequency link, and the user loses a game not due to stuck smoothness caused by the re-registration when the user plays a game, and the like, so that the game experience of the user can be improved, and the electronic device being disconnected from the IMS is not caused.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device includes a communication radio frequency link, the electronic device is connected to an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem, and the method includes: obtaining, in a process in which a preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link, a remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem; obtaining a data demand of the preset application in a case that the remaining online duration is greater than a first preset duration and less than a second preset duration, where the first preset duration is greater than or equal to a duration required for the electronic device to re-register in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem; and performing, in a case that the data demand is less than a preset data demand, re-registration in the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem through the communication radio frequency link. That is, in the process in which the preset application downloads data through the communication radio frequency link, in a case that the remaining online duration of the electronic device registered in the IMS is still relatively long, the electronic device does not directly re-register in the IMS through the communication radio frequency link, but re-registers in the IMS when the preset application has a smaller data demand on a premise of ensuring that the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS, which ensures that the electronic device is not disconnected from the IMS, and the preset application can run smoothly during re-registration.
